I do not know the affinity of this little plant, but it appears to be one of the Isatideze. 
The arrangement of the inflorescence with the bare rachis only bearing two flowers at 
the > the upper part being converted into a spine, resembles that of the Egyptian 
Zilla. 
e Tp man are ui much reduced, the petals very small and soon falling, and 
| the stamens reduced to two only. The leaves vary in form, the lower ones being ovate 
to lanceolate, entire, the upper ones bearing three teeth at the top. In one specimen 
the leaves are all elongate cuneate, dilated upwards from a narrow base with several 
teeth at the apex. - >
